Job description

At MacKay Contracting Ltd., we don’t just move material — we build the foundations communities grow on. For over 40 years, we’ve delivered heavy civil construction and mining projects across Western Canada, taking on the tough jobs and doing them right.

We’re looking for Haul Truck Drivers who take pride in safe, solid work and aren’t afraid to jump in and help the crew when needed. This role is for drivers who want steady work, a predictable schedule, and a team that actually has each other’s backs.

We are currently recruiting for this position with an estimated start date of mid-September.

• Complete daily 360° equipment inspections to make sure everything’s running right
• Follow maintenance schedules and flag issues before they become problems
• Complete and document daily Field Level Hazard Assessments (FLHAs)
• Keep accurate timecards, work reports, and maintenance logs
• Work safely, look out for your crew, and take pride in the equipment you run

What You Bring to the Table

• 1–3+ years’ operating CAT rigid frame haul trucks
• Valid Class 5 Driver’s License, reliable transportation, and a clean Driver’s Abstract
• Willingness to work outdoors in all conditions and handle up to 23 kg (50 lbs)
• A strong safety mindset — FLHAs aren’t just paperwork to you
• Confidence driving in all weather, to and from site
• A solid work ethic, positive attitude, and the ability to work solo or as part of a crew
• Stable work history, ideally in an industrial or mining environment
• Good communication skills and a willingness to take direction and keep learning

Why You’ll Want This Job

• 7x7 schedule — work hard, then actually enjoy your time off
• A safety-driven, respectful crew that looks out for one another
• Opportunities to grow your skills and move into more responsibility
• Competitive compensation and overtime opportunities
